Patrons,

As part of our efforts to continuously feed our Community Center through challenging times, the JCC has invited one of the more well-known swim leagues in our state to use our facility as a ‘home base’. Palmetto Aquatics is a USA Swimming affiliated club that shares a plethora of values with the JCC and aligns with our vision for aquatics. With the recent drop in evening temperatures, they have asked to be here Wed. 9/23 5p-7p, Thu. 9/24 5p-7p, and Fri. 9/25 4p-6p. Due to their practices this Friday, Family Swim will be unavailable for that evening, but will return to normal schedule by this Saturday (9/26). Beginning October 1, their visits will consistently take place Monday through Thursday 5p-7p, a time slot with very little aquatic activity over the course of our reopening. If this affects your schedule, feel free to inquire about our availabilities, as we have plenty of space to accommodate your swimming needs, whether for: lane swimming, water aerobics classes, family swim, and (SOON) the return of swim lessons and personal training.

We look forward to this partnership, and what it may bring to our JCC. Schedules will be updated to reflect these changes.

For further inquiries and concerns, please feel free to reach out.

Warmest Regards,

Geoffrey I. Corvi
